KOBE Paras is in high spirits after a disheartening month and eager to suit up for Creighton University in the Big East.

The 18-year-old Paras admitted he felt down after having to pull out of UCLA, describing it as “a crazy month” but is glad to find a new home in Creighton in Omaha, saying he feels he fits well in the community and not just the basketball program.

“I had dreams that were crushed but … it made so much sense to me that dreams don’t necessarily need to be one dream. One dream can explode to different things,” said Paras in an interview with Balitang America.

“I’m happy that there are a lot of coaches that hit me up after the incident and I felt really loved and it was really crazy how I saw that there’s not just one school out there for me, there are a lot of schools that I could choose (from).”

“I found the perfect fit … I’m happy to be a part of this awesome community.”
